barrel is 16.8, weight is 7.8 lbs, the weight is why I bought it, because of medical issues I am selling all my shooting gear. 39 long guns, 2 rcbs press's, bench primer tool, charge master, pro trimmer, powder, primers that have been kept in climate controlled atmosphere, set of dies for each caliber, shotgun shells (mainly 20ga) 2-3 thousand 22lr ammo that I will sell for half of what the going price is now.
